At the moment I have the track number and title of the song in the filename.

I would like add the artist in front of the title:

01 - artist - title  
02 - artist - title  
etc.

Thanks for the link, I worked out what to do in the end.

In case anyone else wants to know how to do it:

Convert \> Tag - Filename

then add this to format string  
$num(%track%,2) - %artist% - %title%
